Although the Ji Canal is still an important waterway in the Qing Dynasty, it refers to the part below Lutai, and it is almost to Ji County here, and it has long ceased to be the grand scene when it was used as a military traffic artery, and in this cold winter, the water surface has shrunk to only twenty or thirty meters wide, and the water depth is up to the waist, although there is a layer of river ice that breaks when stepping on it, but it can not affect the speed of those loyal soldiers at all.

"Get ready to shoot!" A brave Qing officer looked at the swarming enemy, jumped out of the trench and brandished his saber and shouted, but then he was choked by a mouthful of poisonous gas and squatted on the ground and coughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, and he was ready to shoot.

Those soldiers in the trenches who have time to take care of him, all of them are busy coughing, but fortunately, the wet towel has played a little bit of a role, and in some places where the poisonous gas is thin, some soldiers have also begun to poke their heads out to shoot, but their number is too small, from the beginning of the war to the present, one-fifth of them have been killed by shells, and then the poisonous gas has been smoked down half of the faster, and the remaining people who can fight against the poisonous gas are probably only two or three thousand, even these people are smoked one by one to tears in their eyes, and they can't see where the enemy in front of them is, Just blindly pulled the trigger a few times, then quickly crouched down and continued to cough.

This scene made Yuan Shoushan extremely sad and angry, he despised the other commander from the bottom of his heart, if you have the ability, don't release the poison, let's fight with real knives and guns, what kind of ability is it to always bully people with poisonous gas, but unfortunately Chen Zhong will not hear the cry in his heart, of course, even if he hears it, it will not be as he wants, and he is a fool if he doesn't use poisonous gas!

However, Yuan Shoushan was not without the power to fight back, he found that he actually had a few surviving mortars, this kind of dozens of kilograms of artillery is easy to carry after all, so it was very clever to hide when the enemy covered the shelling, so now it has become the only heavy firepower of the Qing army, a total of eleven mortars quickly set up and began to aim at the river to spew flames, watching the shells explode in the enemy with a unique roar. Yuan Dashuai's face finally had a little warmth.

But that's all he can do, this bit of firepower is put into the 20,000 attacking enemy troops, at most it can be regarded as throwing a few small stones in the torrent, and not even a little wave can be turned, not to mention that on the airship overhead, the artillery observers of the loyal army soon discovered these fish that slipped through the net, and with a burst of flags, hundreds of heavy artillery shells immediately roared, and instantly crushed those mortars to slag.

By this time, the fast soldiers of the Loyal Warriors had already crossed the river and began to step on the hard frozen ground, screaming and rushing to the shore like madness. At this time, the poison gas bombs were still exploding on the Qing army's position, and the yellow poisonous fog spread and flooded the entire position, and all the soldiers were struggling in the poisonous fog, waiting for their end with difficulty, and almost all of them were coughing in pain, coughing up their blood and lungs, and coughing up their lives.

Yuan Shoushan roared like crazy, and the Japanese saw that his expression was not good, and quietly wanted to retreat. But I didn't expect to expose myself.

"Didn't you say it worked?" Yuan Shoushan shouted with an expression of wanting to choose someone to devour.

"My lord, the villain just said that it was a little useful, but he didn't say that this method can guarantee foolproof!" Sato said with a sad face, if the towel works. Japan is not where it is now!

"Bastard, delay the military plane!" Yuan Shoushan raised his hand after scolding and gave him a knife.

Sato just fell down with a dead look of grief and indignation, and suddenly, as if God had opened his eyes, a strong northwest wind blew violently. In an instant, the position was blown clear.

Not to mention Chen Zhong on the north shore in this scene, even Yuan Shoushan was stupid.

"God bless Daqing, fight back!" He shouted as he ran forward as he brandished his saber.

Chen Zhong on the other side also came to his senses. As soon as the order was given, the artillery immediately re-aimed at the Qing army's defense line and opened fire, including mortars at this time, he had nearly 300 artillery pieces of various types for a division and a brigade, and it was not easy to play fire suppression, and the dense shells immediately fell on the Qing army's defense line like raindrops, and the courage of the Qing army because of this miracle was instantly blown up again.

However, although artillery fire can be effectively suppressed, it is not as wide as poison gas after all, and it is impossible to be as pervasive as poison gas, in the gap between the shell explosions, there are still many remnants of the Qing soldiers lying in the trenches, bravely firing at the enemy troops close at hand, and even a few machine guns also rang out, and the loyal soldiers who were charging immediately began to fall.

Of course, this resistance can not have any substantial impact on the offensive, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, whether it is firepower or the quality of soldiers, it is not at all on a grade, although the Qing army's resistance can cause certain casualties to the loyal soldiers, but it is impossible to stop them, the heavy machine guns that have been transferred to the south bank are densely lined up on the river bank, and the stormy bullets instantly beat those brave Qing troops to the point that they can't raise their heads, in the whistling sound of bullets, the vanguard of the loyal army finally leaned against the barbed wire, Then he took out the wire scissors that had been prepared for a long time and began to cut these main obstacles.

The density of artillery fire in the rear increased sharply, and the entire position seemed to be drowned in a sea of fire, with scattered shrapnel and dense bullets like raindrops, the remnants of the Qing soldiers struggled to support, desperately blocking the enemy with the weapons in their hands, and then one after another were crushed in the flames of the explosion, this scene saw Yuan Shoushan burst into tears.

But unfortunately, at the same time, a scene that made him angry appeared, just as those veterans defended the Qing Dynasty with their lives in the artillery fire, a large number of death-fearing ghosts who were behind their homes began to swarm out of the position, fleeing without a fight, even the machine guns of the war team could not stop them.

These have been abolished for hundreds of years in the Beijing Eight Banners, want to make them become qualified soldiers, but it is a really difficult task, the kind of cowardice that has been carved into the bones, but it is not to do gymnastics, walk the right step, shoot a shot can be solved, maybe before the battle they did have the courage to defend the Qing Dynasty, but after a series of poison gas bombs and artillery fire, now I don't think about anything, just think about how to escape from their positions as quickly as possible.

Although the overseers arranged in the back opened fire to block, their number compared to the number of deserters, it seemed so powerful and lonely, and besides, they killed too many people after all, after all, they were soft, ten or eight can be ruthless, and one hundred and ten may be able to grit their teeth, but how to stop thousands of people rushing over together? Besides, these people are like crazy, who dares to block their escape path is really daring to greet them with bullets, looking at the deserters who rushed forward one after another until they rushed across the overseers and trampled the overseers under their feet, Yuan Shoushan was speechless for a while.

Nima, with this courage, why don't you fight the enemy?

Seeing the companions around him disappear one after another, the veterans who were fighting also panicked, at this time, as the barbed wire was cut one by one, it seemed as if the boundless earthy yellow torrent was rapidly spreading towards the position, and even some people could throw grenades into the trenches, looking at this scene, finally the veterans who couldn't stand it also began to flee.

These people say that the veterans are actually only relative to those Eight Banners disciples, Yi Ketanga was nothing more than relying on the terrain advantage to hold the Sky Ridge, not to mention that the soldiers under his command are not better than Yang Feng, but also worse than Nie Shicheng and others, in this case, it is very good to hold on to it until now, after seeing that there are fewer and fewer people around, the rout is also inevitable.

What's more, the enemy they faced was indeed too ferocious, and nothing else was terrible, that is, the small machine guns in their hands were too ruthless, and those Qing soldiers had no time to see if they hit the target as long as they showed their heads and fired a bullet, and then dozens or hundreds of bullets fell on their heads, and their entire heads could be lost after a little hesitation.

In addition to this, there are also those small cannons that accompany the infantry, there is no need to mount a cannon at all, one can be hit on the thigh, the distance of one hundred and ten meters is extremely accurate, the machine guns that the Qing army has left, often before a few shots, there are a bunch of shells to hit the past, although the power of these shells is stronger than grenades, the power is still very easy to kill a machine gun.

In fact, Yang Feng's infantry tactics have been moving closer to the Japanese infantry in World War II, including equipment, such as grenadiers, which are too useful in such an era, not to mention dealing with the Qing army, it is very effective to pull out the Lu to deal with the great powers.

With the number of defeated Qing troops increasing, there are not many defenders on the rear position, the attacking loyal soldiers finally began to rush to the position, at this time Yuan Shoushan also dispatched his most decisive trump card, two thousand Horqin cavalry hidden in the rear, this is the authentic Horqin Mongolia, pulled directly from the steppe, one by one low pier like a marmot riding on a low Mongolian horse, waving with the banner of the command, Screaming, waving the saber in his hand, he swarmed with the momentum of Genghis Khan back then.

Yuan Shoushan must not have seen the tragic ending of the Japanese army's use of cavalry during the Battle of Tokyo, otherwise he would never dare to let these people come up and send them to death, the attacking loyal soldiers have hundreds of heavy machine guns behind them, and they have thousands of submachine guns in their hands, just these two thousand cavalry launched such an attack is really no different from suicide, those heavy machine guns responsible for covering the muzzle raised, tens of thousands of bullets smashed over like water, and the cavalry that was charging was like being smashed down by a giant hammer, and the front section collapsed suddenly in an instant.

As for the infantry who occupied the position, they didn't even look at this scene, they just lowered their heads to look for the surviving Qing soldiers, and immediately stabbed their bayonets without hesitation when they saw that they were panting...... (To be continued......)
